The Sussex
McBey, James, 1883-1959 · 1916
The Sussex, with a gaping, ragged hollow where her bow has been blown off, lies high and dry on the wet sands between Boulogne and Le Portel. In front of the wreck a French soldier stands as sentinel; and in the shadow of the hull on the left a sad procession is bearing out the dead. To the left, a crowd of fisher folk, and in front, a single fisher girl with a basket.
